How does perception or belief affect people's ability to adapt to change?

English

nordsb [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer + Explanation:

<u>We must believe to see anything. Perception is belief. We see what we believe.</u>

What something looks like or how our body works are fairly easy concrete problems. But there are beliefs which are far more abstract and even metaphysical. If you are a pessimist, the downsides will always be clearer than the upsides. If you believe fundamentally that all people are good at heart, you may be gullible and open to those who may take advantage of you. And even many who don’t believe in God will talk about their luck or their karma. These aren’t perspectives or opinions. Our beliefs may be based on perspectives or opinions, but once we believe them they are as real as a jalapeno is hot or a terrorist is terrifying.

We act based on what we see, and we see based on what we already believe. Belief doesn’t just affect perception. Belief is perception. If we want to change what we see, we must change what we believe. But not only that, we also must unsee what we’ve already seen. Unfortunately, that’s not easy. It may not even be possible. And that’s why it’s so hard to change how we perceive anything.

Answer:

Explanation:

In regards to the Ancient Greek Poem by Homer called "The Odyssey", the cyclops curse made it so that Odysseus would never make it home, but in the unlikely case that he did, it would take him so long that he would lose all those close to him. This would make life incredibly hard when he got home. The poet included this to most likely illustrate the stakes that were involved for Odysseus which would influence his actions.
